Title: Method of determining whether a frame of a work machine is approaching a tip over point
Inventor: LAMBERT ADAM JOHNSON
IPC: E02F9/24
Filed: 2014-02-18
Abstract: A method and associated apparatus for determining whether the frame of a work machine, such as cranes, articulated work machines or backhoe loaders, is approaching a tip over point. The frame 11 has first and second support arrangements 20 each supporting a portion of the load of the frame on a surface. A first load upon the first support arrangement is detected using first sensing means 34 and a second load upon the second support arrangement is detected using second sensing means, which may for example be on the other side of the vehicle. Signals are generated indicative of the first and second loads, which may be done via sensors 35. The signals are then communicated to a controller, which is configured to generate an alert based upon the first and second loads when the first and/ or second load signals indicate that the orientation of the work machine is approaching a tip over point. The controller may calculate whether at least one of the loads has reached a threshold value. The calculations may for example involve the velocity of the movement, the magnitude of the change in load, or the momentum of the load.

Abstract: A method and system for acquiring geophysical data, where geophysical sensors 1 cover a first area 7, a first geophysical data record is collected by the sensors from wavefields generated by a source over a second area 8, where the second area 8 is larger than and includes the first area 7, a second geophysical data record is collected by the sensors from wavefields generated by a source over a third area 9 which is smaller than the second area 8, and where processing of data from the second geophysical data record uses data from the first geophysical data record. This process is commonly called time-lapse monitoring or 4D surveying. Optionally the geophysical source can be a marine seismic source and the geophysical sensors can be an array of seismic sensors located on the sea bed 2. The advantage of this invention is that the second survey can be carried out in a shorter period of time, as less data has to be recorded.

Filed: 2014-12-05
Abstract: A new package for storing bulky goods is disclosed. The package is formed from a bag having a width and depth at its base portion and meeting at a top edge, the top edge having no depth. Due to the top edge having no depth, the width of the material on the top portion of the package extends out further than the width of the material on the base portion. To create a package having streamlined aesthetic that looks nice on a shelf, the excess material in the top portion of the bag is folded into the interior of the bag to form a false side gusset. To allow for such folding the bag, in desirable embodiments, side edges of a first and second web forming the bag angle inward at between about 30 degrees and about 60 degrees at a top portion transition point on the bag.

Title: Fishing line hook retainer and deployer
Inventor: MARK ANTHONY CATON
IPC: A01K91/06
Filed: 2016-07-22
Abstract: The device comprises a holder 20 for mounting on a fishing line 1 and a moveable member 31. The holder defines a channel 25 suitable for receiving a fishing hook 4 on a branch line 2. In a first position of the moveable member (shown in figure 2), a se­curing pin 32 extends across the channel 25 to secure the hook 4. In a second position of the movable member (shown in figure 3), the securing pin is retract­ed to open the channel in the holder. The moveable member 31 moves upon impact of the device with water, causing the hook 4 to be deployed. The holder may be fixed relative to the line using crimps or clamps 42. The movable member may be attached to the line so it is not lost and the device is reusable. Ramp 28 may bias the hook to move out of the channel when the movable member is in the second position. The device is intended to prevent branch lines 2 tangling and to make casting of the line safer.
